He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.He rode along until a strange around drew him to th
27、e present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like clack cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him. With no time to waste. Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding witho
28、ut knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇).The last sting had landed him in hospitaland that was only one bee sting! He ha
29、d been forced to stay in bead for two whole days. Suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, dont panic. Use your brain and think your ways out of it.”On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards form the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees dont
30、like smoke,” he thought. “They couldnt get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam u
31、sed by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees has gone. Dragging himself out of the dang t
32、he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“Youll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didnt panic!” But Andy did not hear her.

A clerk from a telecommunications company.CKong Zi, also called Confucius(551-479 B.C.), and Socrates(469-399 B.C.) lived o
43、nly a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting on look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies.Neither philosopher lived in times of
44、peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by ru
45、lers how to govern effectively. Thus Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand, advised those in government and many of his students went on to government service.Confucius suggested Rule as a principle for the conduct
46、of life: “Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some potential than others, are that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. H
47、e believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the cen
48、tre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Socrates and Confucius and much in common.B. Confucius had a i
49、nfluences on Socrates ideas.C. The societies were influenced by the philosophers ideas.D. There were culture exchanges between China and Greece.65. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that .A. all men were equal when they were born.B. the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class.C. the p
50、urpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom.D. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to.66. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?A. FamilyB. PotentialC. KnowledgeD. Community67. This passage is organized in the pattern of .A. time and events.B. comp
51、arison and con contrast.C. cause and effect. D. definition and classification.DModern inventions have speeded up peoples lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of spe
52、ed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the
53、uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computer results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation in
54、to our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone whe
55、n we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some peoples lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar p
56、attern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modem machinery has freed people from that primiti
57、ve existence.68. The new products become more and more time-saving because .A. our love of speed seems never-ending.B. time is limited.C. the prices are increasingly high.D. the manufacturers boast a lot.69. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Imaginary life.B. Simple life in the past.C.
58、 Times of inventions.D. Time for constant activity.70. What is the authors attitude towards the modem technology?A. Critical B. Objective.C. Optimistic. D. Negative.71. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and pad times.B. Machinery and human beings.C. Imaginations and inventions.D. M
59、odern technology and its influence.EEvery day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and Experience is our ability to make noises with
60、 our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each others minds. This ability comes so naturally that tend to forget what a miracle(奇迹)it is.Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousan
61、ds of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Natures went show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, its a ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds
62、 we make as we breathe out.Not that we dont have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our beads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling(直立的)fur is
63、an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed bead or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability t
64、o speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms but this doesnt tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.72. According to the passa
65、ge, the wonder we take for granted is .A. our ability to use languageB. the miracle of technologyC. the amazing power of nature D. our ability to make noises with mouth73. What feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?A. Lifting heads when sad.B. Keepi
66、ng long faces when angry.C. Bristling hair when ready to attack.D. Bowing heads when willing to obey.74. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Body language is unique to humans.B. Animals express emotions just as humans do.C. Humans have other powers of communication.D. Humans are no different fr
67、om animals to some degree.75. This passage is mainly about .A. the development of body language.B. the special role humans play in nature.C. the power to convey information to others.D. the difference between humans and animals in language use.第卷(非选择题,共50分)第三部分 写作(共两节,共50分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出
